Louis Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hello all. MIDI newbie here. I'm using cakewalk and my Roland Fantom XR. I have setup an instrument definition file I downloaded from Cakewalk. I select the bank and patch, the bank changes, but It will only play the first patch in the bank. I've gone into event list and tried editing it a few times, no luck, I've inserted patch changes, no luck. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. In my instrument there is no longer a general MIDI selection or any other instruments except for the Roland Fantom. Can I reset it back to factory settings? I've included some screen shots of my setup. Any help will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 I was able to get the ins files for the XR and have installed them. I uninstalled and reinstalled cakewalk last night. They will change now, but the problem is if I change one of the patches or bank selects, they all change. As you can tell from the picture, I changed the bank for channel, and all the other bank for channels 2 - 10 changed as well. I'm stumped and have ran out of things to try.

Are you saying you sent out one bank select + program change pair embedded in one track and that caused bank select + program changes on channels 1 -> 7 and 10 (with different patches on each channel)?

Yes, If I change one they all change. I thought maybe I had something set to omni but I dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am puzzled by that since the patch on each channel is not the same for all tracks and only channels 1 - 7 + 10 were affected.

User 905133 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) I have never had that happen (that I know of) where a Bank Select + Program Change pair in the middle of one channelized track triggered Bank Select/Program Changes on other tracks. I will defer to other users that might have ideas on what might have caused that. Sorry I couldn't help.

I wonder if having more than one impute selected on the instrument definition will cause that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
